We would love to see you at our first School Advisory Council (SAC) Meeting of the school year.
We have URGENT information about Bus 243.
Due to unforeseen contracting issues, bus services for certain schools, including ours, may experience delays on the morning of Tuesday, August 19, 2025. To help ensure students arrive at school on time, parents are strongly encouraged to make alternative transportation arrangements.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and are working diligently to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. We appreciate your understanding and partnership in supporting the safe and timely arrival of all students.
Have a great evening!
